Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt were scheduled to have their very first run-in with Jennifer Aniston at the Night Before party at the Beverly Hills Hotel Saturday night.

However, Jolie backed out of going to the bash only hours before.  Jolie told the January 2007 issue of Vogue that she was open to meeting with Aniston. “That would be her decision, and I would welcome it,” she said.

Aniston, a confidant tells the new issue of Us Weekly, thought it was “the perfect chance” encounter for closure. “She said the stress of having to avoid them was more painful than seeing them.”

Remember, Jolie had been keeping people guessing about her pregnancy, but decided to debut her massive baby bump the night before the scheduled Aniston meeting in a tight black dress at the Film Independent’s Spirit Awards.

Jolie is possibly “being either very Machiavellian or very passive-aggressive,” Robert Greene, the author of The 48 Laws of Power tells Us Weekly.

“If Angelina is trying to get under Jen’s skin – push her buttons – this is a clever way to do it,” Greene adds.

“Imagine you’re in Jen’s shoes,” he says. “You’re worried about Angelina showing up. And she never does. It’s infuriating. If intentional, it’s definitely a power move.”

So stealing Brad Pitt wasn’t enough for Angelina?  Us Weekly seems to be saying that Jolie wants to keep some sort of power over the situation.  Not healthy.

Larry Birkhead says his 17-month-old daughter Dannielynn has undergone eye surgery.

“Dannielynn is home from surgery and resting comfortably,” Birkhead tells Entertainment Tonight.

The daughter of Anna Nicole suffers from strabismus, or the turning in of one of her eyes (the one eye turned in makes her look cross-eyed). The condition is common in about 5 percent of children and cannot be outgrown.

Get well soon, little one!

Add author to Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s ever-growing resume.

The 21-year-old twins, who topped last year’s Forbes Top Earning Stars Under 21 list with an estimated fortune of $40 million each, are publishing a coffee table book titled Influence, through Penguin Young Readers Group.

It will feature “the most interesting, challenging, creative people we know — the ones who helped pave the way for us and our generation,” Ashley said in a statement.

Among them: shoe guru Christian Louboutin, actress Lauren Hutton, photographer Terry Richardson and writer Bob Colacello.

“Ashley and I interviewed the people who have inspired us, with the hope that they will inspire and teach others,” Mary-Kate said.

The book — due this fall — will also feature exclusive photos of the twins and never-before-seen interviews with the two.

I thought the always caffeinated twins would come out with their own coffee before a coffee table book.  I love artistic coffee table books, so I think I will have to check it out in the fall.

Mischa Barton has been charged with driving under the influence and possession of marijuana, stemming from her arrest in December (her mugshot from the arrest is pictured above), police announced Tuesday.

The former star of The O.C. was also charged with driving without a valid license. Her arraignment on the misdemeanor charges is set for Thursday in Beverly Hills Superior Court.

Barton, 22, was arrested for investigation of DUI in West Hollywood on Dec. 27 after her vehicle was seen straddling two lanes of traffic and she failed to signal when making a turn, police have said.

Pamela Anderson is now seeking to annul her brief marriage to Rick Salomon rather than getting a standard divorce, according to court papers.

Anderson cited “fraud” as the reason for the annulment. No details were given in the court papers, which were filed last Friday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

After just two months of marriage, Anderson, 40, filed for divorce from Salomon, 39, in December, citing irreconcilable differences.  She then withdrew the petition in order to try to work things out. Just two weeks later, the couple separated on December 13.

They were married on October 7, 2007 in Las Vegas during a 90-minute break between the magic shows in which Anderson was appearing.

This was the third marriage for both.

I guess there isn’t a sex tape to be seen…yet.

Madonna’s highly anticipated new album is going to be called Hard Candy.  There is a track called “Candy Store”, which Pharell produced.

Madonna chose to stick with the sweet theme because “she loves candy,” says her longtime rep Liz Rosenberg. “It’s about the juxtaposition of tough and sweetness, or as Madonna so eloquently expressed ‘I’m gonna kick your ass, but it’s going to make you feel good.”

The album features Justin Timberlake on multiple tracks and production by Pharrell Williams, Timbaland, and Nate “Danja” Hill.   The album drops on April 29 and the first single “Four Minutes” (featuring Justin Timberlake) will be out by the end of March.
